Ouachita comes from the Native American word "Washita" which means "good hunting grounds." Native American groups such as the Caddo and Osage resided in the area of Arkansas that is now Ouachita National Forest. They referred to this area as Washita which the French then spelled Ouachita and it continues to be spelled this way today!

It sure is a good thing Rob is around. Did you learn that from some French pop music, or something?
